What up doc?

Weeeeeellllll really not a whole lot of interesting stuff going on right now. Buuut I figured I'd check in anyway! I am sitting in a Hilton in Little Rock Arkansas (WTF!, why do they have to pronounce it Arkensaw?!?) rocking out to Obama's state of the union address. I love that guy, even with all the shit he has been getting recently. Being president is a tough job! Anyway, I am in AR with my boss to meet with the head honchos of the company to redesign our billing and inventory web interface. It currently is a P.O.S. designed by backwoods Arkansians (and when I say backwoods, I mean it!) but I think we made a lot of headway in making things easier for everyone here and across the country.
While here I have had an interesting cultural experience. By "interesting cultural experience" I mean, the southeast is a whole different fucking world. Everything edible is fried and they speak a whoooole different language. As an example of the regular food around here, yesterday, for lunch and dinner, I ate the following: fried chicken, fried okra, fried pickles, fried crawfish tail, fried catfish, meatloaf, french fries, and greasy-ass (fried?) corn bread. I have to eat healthy salads for a week to offset that funkiness.
The MLK house was fun this year. There wasn't much snow to be had so we hashed, hiked the river trail, and drank a lot. I think we pissed some people off the last night, but in our defense, we HAD to finish the keg! You understand right? The cop understood!
Oh, and I bought Keith's splitboard, so I am ready to take on the fuckin' world this winter. Unfortunately I did so in an exceptionally "El Nino" year with a very poor PNW snowpack. Colorado anyone? :)

Sunriver Hash

I am excited. In addition to the usual shenanigans, this year's Sunriver house is going to have an associated Snowbunny Hash. Interested in coming?

Here's some photos from the break:
